Hi all, I’m looking for some help and guidance. I just purchased a my first project boat. Got it for pretty cheap knowing it was gonna need a bit of work. I’ve started to tear out the flooring and removed some of the boxes so far. The transom, stringers and floor all need replaced. I’ve been reading quite a few forums and gaining quite a bit of knowledge. Im not sure the best way to removed these seats and boxes. I can see they are tied in with the hull on one side and don’t know the best way to cut them out. Also I saw another guys forum, I read all the way through who I thought did a really good job, and he removed the entire cap in order to do the transom. I’m am trying not to do that as I don’t really have a way to hold its shape and I would rather not risk it. I was thinking of cutting the cap around where the black paint marker line is, that way I can access the entire transom and then afterward I can just glass it back together? I’m planning on doing the transom first. And I’m also going to get a compact circular saw to cut the rest of the floor better. I’ve been using a oscillating tool and it works really good on wood that is already rotted, but the farther up the towards the front I go it’s just cutting good wood that is just aged on top so I’m assuming it would be a more efficient way to go about it.
